...their windows and seen a large wooden horse which seems remarkably similar to the one the people of Troy encountered centuries ago. Sometimes it is boldly rolled up in front of the statue of John Harvard; sometimes it innocently squats at a rear doorway. Anyhow, during this first scholastic month, it has been hanging around quite too regularly, thereby shattering the usual official complacency at Harvard's never center. How the horse gets in is a problem which has not been solved, even by the vigilance of Mr. Apted's stalwarts. Some days it just appears, that...
...month ago when the U.S. granted E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. a patent on a new product known as Fibre 66, which apparently has the elasticity rayon has always lacked (TIME, Oct. 3), chemists figured that silk might be on the verge of losing its only remaining big U.S. market-hosiery.

The disarming candor of Mrs. Lindbergh's writing is probably the biggest reason for its popularity, since she combines technical discussions of flight with humdrum, housewifely confessions of her fears while flying. Listen! The Wind has the same engaging tone as North to the Orient, includes some vivid recollections of tense hours over the Atlantic which give...
This book deals with only ten days at the end of the Lindberghs' six-month survey flight around the North Atlantic in 1933-the days when, on their way home, they landed at the Cape Verde Islands on their way to South America, found the sea too rough to permit a takeoff, returned to Africa and waited impatiently for wind strong enough to get their heavily loaded Lockheed Sirius into...
